Materials are available at YMCAs throughout New<br \/>\nJersey. The program is intended to use the Night of Conversation, a national drug<br \/>\nprevention initiative started by Dr. Mehmet Oz in 2015, as a springboard to encourage<br \/>\nmeaningful conversations between parents and their children throughout the year. A drug<br \/>\nprevention video featuring Dr. Oz is also included in our materials.<\/p>\n<p>As a charitable organization, the Y is focused on youth development, healthy living and<br \/>\nsocial responsibility. Supporting parents and the community in their efforts to raise healthy,<br \/>\nconfident, connected children is core to the Y\u2019s mission to help all people grow in spirit,<br \/>\nmind and body.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #dd5828;\">THE BACKGROUND<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Early in 2017, the New Jersey Legislature passed a joint resolution that was signed into law,<br \/>\ndesignating a Night of Conversation in November of each year. The purpose of the law is to<br \/>\ncreate awareness about substance use and to help families initiate conversations about drug<br \/>\nand alcohol addiction. While the Night of Conversation helps to bring this issue to the<br \/>\nforefront of parents\u2019 consciousness, New Jersey YMCA State Alliance, The Horizon<br \/>\nFoundation for New Jersey and Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey wanted to do more,<br \/>\nto not only start the conversation, but sustain it throughout the year.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18738 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/tcp_brochure_thumb2-130x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-large button-orange fusion-button-orange button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Preventing-Drug-Use-0612_SCY-v5.pdf\"><i class=\" fa fa-arrow-down button-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Download Parents Guide to Addressing Drug Use<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3><span style=\"color: #006b6b;\">Conversation Starters<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"fusion-alignleft\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-medium button-darkgreen fusion-button-darkgreen button-2 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DrugPrevention_Conversation-Starters-0612_Final.pdf\"><i class=\" fa fa-arrow-down button-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Download Conversation Starters for Parents<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Conversation is one of the most powerful and effective tools parents can use in preventing substance use and misuse by their children. Research has shown that regular, meaningful conversations between parents and their children help to reduce risky behaviors by children and can ultimately save lives. This is why New Jersey YMCA State Alliance, The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey and Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey have collaborated to create strategies for parents as they try to navigate the challenges of tackling difficult topics. Empowering children with the skills and confidence to make healthy choices starts with a simple conversation.<\/p>\n<p>The following material, informed by experts in the fields of pediatrics, childhood development, child psychology and addiction prevention, while not exhaustive, are intended to provide a starting point for parents in beginning to address with their children substance use and misuse. This material should be considered complementary to any support and counsel parents may receive from other trusted sources. As always, parents should consult their healthcare professionals regarding any concerns with their children.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18762 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation-300x155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation-150x77.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation-200x103.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation-400x206.jpg 400w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation-600x309.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hz-foundation.jpg 718w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18763 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-300x96.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"238\" height=\"76\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-150x48.png 150w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-200x64.png 200w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-400x128.png 400w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-600x192.png 600w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-768x246.png 768w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-800x256.png 800w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-1024x328.png 1024w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj-1200x384.png 1200w, https:\/\/ymcanj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/drug-free-nj.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This new initiative is designed to encourage and support parents in having meaningful and effective conversations with their children to prevent drug use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":18737,"parent":23359,"menu_order":400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
